Abstract: Techniques for forecasting the minimum temperature are mostly empirically based, using collections of statistics over a long period of time for a range of weather situations. The very popular method is McKenzie's method, which uses the maximum temperature and the dew-point at the time of maximum temperature, together with a set of correction factors for cloud and wind. Main aim is to adjust the corrections to aerodromes currently used by Czech air force. Adjustment of McKenzie technique to the territory of Czech Republic could be very useful tool in particular forecast, especially in forecast of dangerous weather phenomena that are linked with minimal temperature prediction, e.g. forecasting of road surface conditions etc. "The Road meteorology" is a branch of an applied meteorology, which deals with the meteorological elements and phenomena in the light of their influence over running of communication, namely the major roads and motorways on a given territory incl!
usive of bridges and tunnels constructions. Road meteorology tries to solve the theoretic problems pair with the meteorological support of the road maintenance.
